Log: After the attack, the group examined the dead Blue Boy - his cybewarer was removed and the party started to interrogate the survivor. From the interrogation we learn that the Bosses (Blue Boys are lead by Triplets) ordered it. That the Blue Boys have the classmates squirreled away, nice and tight. That they are being paid BIG money to do this but he doesnt know who is paying. Only the bosses know. We communicate this to CashClaw who we are working with, along with the Class President too. After various ideas, the group settles on a plan: Joseph, who is well trusted by the various gangs, and Eusyl will visit the Valkyries and get them to play back up with the enticement that we are setting up the Blue Boys with a prisoner exchange, our goal is to grab a boss and get more information from him While Joseph and Eusyl meet with the Valkyries, the rest of the group is keeping Karken'ik safe. We move to the abandon tenement next door, considering that to be safer. Joseph and Eusyl are successful in getting the support of the Valkyries after meeting with Artemis Now we pick the old race track a level up as the meeting place and have Joseph call the Blue Boys to schedule the exchange. At first it's not going well as the Blue Boys refuse to pay 5K credits for their member or exchange information on who hired them. We are able to confirm that Blue Boys have the students, however. In the end Joseph gets them to agree to meet. CashClaw is called in, the Valkyries set up around the race track and we get ourselves set-up. As for our group, we set-up a sniper, get a ground vehicle for extraction and gear up for war. The Blue Boys are late getting there, something smells fishy, and as we start to get itchy they roll in. 30 strong with a Lieutenant, not a boss. We decide to proceed with the plan and move in to snatch the LT. Violence erupts, but we catch them by surprise. Smoke bombs help hide our actions, Eusyl does a good job picking off folks as our sniper and we manage to grab the LT and bogey out as the Valkyries ride in to finish off the stragglers. It wasnt all free and clear however, Rod took some major damage and having already been wounded was dying. Joseph and Balta'Sax are able to perform surgery and get Rod back up and running. The car took some damage, however Eusyl is able to fix a good part of it. At the abandon tenement we speak with the LT. While a Telol didnt work and neither did hypnotism, the LT had no problem telling us what was happening and laughing at our attempts. While we were being distracted another group of BBs were focused on getting the student out. We are able to put enough pieces together to guess the students are being taken off-planet via the old port and we get to work: Joseph contacts the Valkyries to see if they can help again - they are willing to show a force of strength, but not engage as that is outside their turf and pirate land. Balta'Sax contacts the Screechers, however they show the same reluctance as the Valkyries and may not even respond. Rod contacts Alice and speaks with her majordomo and convinces him that this could be a very good PR message for the family, who needs some PR wins. He agrees to get their police force involved. Rod also contacts Terry Goodkin and let's her know about our progress - friendly reminded about payment. With everyone else doing this or that, we get the good idea of raiding the BB headquarters. On our way there we hear about the police bust of BBs trying to get the students off planet via the Old Port and how the Styrigi helped prevent it. Rod is informed that our payment is delivered, 7K STG. We leave off with getting ready to raid the BB headquarters.
